I am taking life guarding this semester, and someone snapped this picture of me just after class. The new BYU-I issue suits are a little more revealing than they used to be.

Stability Ball Abdominal Roll-ups

Stability Ball Abdominal Roll-ups

Stability balls have many uses and benefits.

This exercise targets your abdominal muscles, including the rectus abdominus and obliques, the stabilizing muscles, and the hip flexors.

Step 1: Kneel on the floor and place the ball in front of your knees.
Step 2: Lie on top of the ball.
Step 3: Reach forward and let your hands touch the ground rolling the ball toward your thighs
Step 4: Walk your hands out until your shins are resting on the ball. Make sure your shoulders are aligned with your hands. Keep the abdominals tight and back flat.
Step 5: Slowly contract your abdominals and pull the ball forward with the legs.
Step 6: Bend your knees in toward your chest while rolling the ball beneath the body until your knees are at your chest.
Step 7: Slowly roll the ball back to the starting position.

Ahhh Spring.....

I guess that means catching some rays, eating watermelon and checking your email.
